Identification of a Candidate Gene Set Signature for the Risk of Progression in IgM MGUS to Smoldering/Symptomatic Waldenström Macroglobulinemia (WM) by a Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of B Cells and Plasma Cells.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Waldenström Macroglobulinemia (WM) is a B-cell lymphoma characterized by the precursor condition IgM monoclonal gammopathies of undetermined significance (IgM MGUS). We performed a gene expression profiling study to compare the transcriptome signatures of bone marrow (BM) B-cells and plasma cells of 36 WM patients, 13 IgM MGUS cases, and 7 healthy subjects used as controls (CTRLs) by Affymetrix microarray. We determined 2038 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in CD19+ cells and 29 DEGs genes in CD138+ cells, respectively. The DEGs identified in B-cells were associated with KEGG pathways, mainly involved in hematopoietic cell lineage antigens, cell adhesion/focal adhesion/transmembrane proteins, adherens junctions, Wnt-signaling pathway, BCR-signaling pathway, calcium signaling pathway, complement/coagulation cascade, platelet activation, cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions, and signaling pathways responsible for cell cycle, apoptosis, proliferation and survival. In conclusion, we showed the deregulation of groups of genes belonging to KEGG pathways in the comparison among WM vs. IgM MGUS vs. CTRLs in B-cells. Interestingly, a small set of genes in B-cells displayed a common transcriptome expression profile between WM and IgM MGUS compared to CTRLs, suggesting its possible role in the risk of transformation of IgM MGUS to WM.
